Sterilisation - Delmont imaging D300 100 000 Manuel D'utilisation

Instructions for use: rigid medical endoscopes
Apply polishing paste to a clean cotton swab.
For large end surfaces: press cotton swab lightly on the end sur-
face to be cleaned and rub it over the glass.
For small end surfaces: place cotton swab lightly on the end
surface to be cleaned and turn it.
Clean all optical end surfaces with warm water and mild detergent to remove all polishing paste residue.
Rinse optical end surfaces under running water.
Dry optical end surfaces with a soft cloth.

Sterilisation

Prior to each sterilisation, rigid endoscopes must be cleaned and disinfected according to the me-
thods in these instructions for use.
Sterilise endoscopes in suitable packaging to prevent subsequent contamination.
Steam sterilisation (autoclaving):
In general, users are responsible for the validation of their processes.
Only endoscopes which are marked with the writing «autoclavable» are intended for autoclaving. The
permissible processing methods are explained in the instructions at hand.
When selecting the processing method, observe the valid national hygienic regulations and local provisions
for hospital hygiene.
Comply with specified process parameters. The specified parameters have been validated to
ensure the sterility of the endoscopes. Deviating process parameters could damage the endoscope. In this
case, the guarantee and warranty shall become void.
Autoclavable endoscopes can be sterilised with the French cycle (134°C, 18 minutes, 3,1 bar (abso-
lute)) without restrictions regarding material compatibility.
Existing adapters are dismounted.
For endoscopes with working channel: Adapter for stopcock is dismounted.
Sterilise endoscopes.
When the sterilisation process has ended, allow the endoscopes to cool gradually to room temperature.
Fractionated pre-vacuum method:
The following process has been validated:
Temperature
132–137°C (270–278°F) At least 3 minutes
Gravitation method:
The endoscopes have material compatibility with the gravitation method for a hold time of 15 minutes.
Hydrogen peroxide sterilisation (STERRAD
Endoscopes without working channel and with working channel with a dia. ≥ 5mm can be sterilised with the fol-
lowing STERRAD systems: STERRAD 100S, STERRAD NX and STERRAD 100NX.
Observe specifications of the manufacturer (ASP) regarding the corresponding method.
